Justin B: get the fried chicken, the skillet cornbread, and the basement.
Jenna: Try the super tender fried chicken, mac 'n cheese and waffle dish. An unusual yet surprisingly deliciously harmonising combo. Comfort food at its finest.
Brad T: 1) Sit at the bar for quicker brunch service2) Order bloody mary (damn!)3) Enjoy the fried chicken, eggs and waffles (as if you have a choice)
Aroon Sharma: Tiny place but great fried chicken and unique doughnuts. Best doughnut selection is in the morning if course!
Behrad Eats: The Fried Chicken BLT is a great sandwich balancing the savoriness of the fries chicken and bacon with the sweetness of the doughnut bun.
Harper Wentz: I had the fried chicken and I thought it was crispy, perfectly seasoned, and very juicy❤️ I absolutely loved

Korean Restaurant · SW Ballpark - Navy Yard · 28 tips and reviews
Gelinda: Well known for their Korean fried chicken. You can order wings, drumsticks or strips served with a side of diced radishes which are really tasty. Parking can be tight on National's game night.
Behrad Eats: The Potstickers are lightly fried pork and vegetable dumplings brushed with Bonchon signature sauce and a perfect start before you sink your teeth into some Korean Fried Chicken.
josef jon: ✨🍗 Fried chicken drumsticks are huge, but ambiance is severely lacking 👎🏼

Behrad Eats: Don't like ramen? There might be something wrong with you, but they got you covered w/ the massive Fried Chicken Dinner including mac & cheese, corn on the cob, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, & biscuits!
Julia M: fun vibe, awesome servers. Their CHINTAN is absolutely amazing. Ask for Shio Chintan (secret menu). Fried chicken plate is on point - chicken drippings over rice. Spicy miso ramen good too.
Nicole Binuya: Ramen is great but limited selection with the same toppings for all kinds. Skip the fried chicken if you're looking for spicy.

Johanna: I'm generally a harsh critic and have to say, everything we got was wonderful. Pork and lychee salad, popcorn soup, strawberry pasta, and fried chicken, all wonderfully complex in flavor and texture.
Jason Townsend: Amazing food at Rose's Luxury -- highly recommend the Pork sausage/habanero/lychee salad and the Pickle brined fried chicken with honey & sesame
Steven Androphy: Bring a few friends to wait in line with and try almost everything on the menu. Highlights include the lychee salad, corn with guajillo chile, pickle-brined fried chicken, and caramelized cauliflower.

Chad Campbell: Only take cash, get the mac & chs, collard greens, and fried chicken... Great!
Alex Orr: Definitely over-priced, and late night everything gets priced even higher. Soul food shouldn't cost $20 a plate. That said, Mac 'n cheese is really great, as are collards, wings, and fried chicken.
James Stolp: Fantastic food! Fried catfish, greens, grits and cheese, cornbread, sweet tea, great fries chicken. They're doing it right!

Erin LG: Korean fried chicken, seafood pancake, dukbokki were all great. Try the chilled sake in a can!
Behrad Eats: The K.F.C. (Korean Fried Chicken) is crispy and delicious but the spicy ones could use a little more heat.
Caitlin D: Seafood pancake, bulgogi taco and puny, overlooked fried chicken were all swimming in grease. We stopped for tums on the way home. 😒
